Manuel Raeder blurs the boundaries of design like a conceptual artist

Date
24 April 2012

In the simplest terms, the work of Manuel Raeder and his Berlin-based studio is communication design. Working collaboratively with a weighty list of content-cum-inspirational practitioners, artists, curators – “rappers, photocopiers” – and non-professionals, the largely print-based work decussates the ground separating the design from the content itself, “exploring the boundaries between exhibitions, ephemera, books, type design, editing and publishing to furniture design.” The results are therefore unique from project to project and as strong a piece of conceptual work as the content presented.
